Things nobody told me about getting older: the length of my cycle keeps getting shorter. Apparently that happens when your ovaries get old? I do not need MORE erupts, y'all!!! Also, I think more cramps. But maybe that's just my "I took pain meds this afternoon and then forgot to take more until after they wore off" talking.
Mal: Does she understand that? River: She understands. She doesn't comprehend.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

JZ is having this issue. Or rather more specifically her cycle is short and highly regular now where it used to be irregular in her youth and not uncommon to have only a handful during the course of a year.

Our wings are not tired.
I kind of think that's JZ's info to share? I dunno but it's weird to me for you to share it...?

Thrive to spite them
meara I'm having the same issue. I talked to the doctor about perimenopause she said that they could come as frequently as every 14 days and then kind of stop.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
A shorter cycle is the main reason I wanted an IUD. I mean, yes, also for birth control -- we don't need any more babies 'round here! But I really wanted not to have to worry about bleeding through my clothes every 22 days. Ugh.

I miss my Mirena for that reason alone. I didn't have a period for 10 years and it was fantastic. But now that it's back, it's pretty short, so it's tolerable.

Because books.
I have to say, menopause has been my favorite thing ever, aside from the hot flashes. Those I could live without. But as a trade-off for cramps and heavy bleeding? Manageable.

I think I seriouisly lucked out in the menopause stakes. I've had a couple of mild hot flashes--a desperate need for a fan as opposed to dripping in sweat--but other than that it's been little more than a "Gone Fishin'" sign hung up on my uterus.

I too, have the shorter cycles, even more cramps thing. If it would stop, that would be great, but these just seems constant (even though I know it is not.)
